Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) in Familial Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodisplastic Syndromes

Официальное название

Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) Approach to Study Known and New Germline Mutations in Familial Acute Myeloid Leukemia and Myelodisplastic Syndromes

Обзор

The aim of this study is to look for predisposing mutations in patients and relatives affected by AML and MDS with familial history of myeloid or, less frequently, lymphoid malignancies. Taking advantage of a next generation sequencing (NGS) platform, screening for known and unknown mutations potentially associated with the disease will be done. The screening will be performed on affected and unaffected family members, in order to outline new pedigrees that either validate previous findings or constitute novel discoveries.

Подробное описание

Patients with a diagnosis of AML or MDS with at least one relative affected by AL/MDS or, secondly, lymphoproliferative disorders, will be enrolled into the study, and will be referred to as the index case. The analysis will be performed both retrospectively and prospectively. A gene panel deep sequencing (GPDS) of the tumor DNA from peripheral blood of the index case at diagnosis will be performed in order to identify mutations in a number of genes known to be associated to myeloid malignancies, mainly: ASXL1, BCOR, NRAS, TP53, RUNX1, CEBPA, FLT3, EZH2, IDH1, IDH2, NPM1, DNMT3A, TET2, CBL, KRAS, ETV6, SF3B1, SRSF2, U2AF1, ZRSR2, GATA2, TERT, TERC, SRP72, and ANKRD26.

In case none of the known mutations is found by the GPDS, whole exome sequencing (WES) will be performed as second step on the tumor cells of the index case.

When one or multiple somatic mutations are found, a Sanger Sequencing (SS) on germline DNA from epithelial buccal cells of the index cases and affected relatives will be performed for the screening of the same somatic leukemic mutations on germline DNA. If the index case and affected relatives share the same mutations on the germline, the same germline mutations will be checked by SS in the unaffected family members.

Критерии участия

Критерии включения

Any patient with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or Myelodisplastic Syndrome (MDS) with:

• a first- or second-degree relative with Acute leukemia or MDS or other myeloid malignancies
• a first- or second-degree relative with Lymphoproliferative neoplasms
• or with clinical features that resemble one of the familial MDS/AML predisposition syndromes:

• History of thrombocytopenia and/or a clinical bleeding propensity (as in RUNX1, ANKRD26 or ETV6 germline mutations)
• Abnormal nails or skin pigmentation, oral leukoplakia, idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, unexplained liver disease (as in TERT and TERC germline mutations)
• Lymphedema, atypical infections, immune deficiencies (as in GATA2 germline mutations)

Критерии исключения

• acute myeloid leukemia (AML) or Myelodisplastic Syndrome (MDS) without a first- or second-degree relative with Acute leukemia or MDS or other myeloid malignancies or without a first- or second-degree relative with Lymphoproliferative neoplasms or with clinical features that resemble one of the familial MDS/AML predisposition syndromes;
• unability to sign the informed consent
